Conclusion
Based upon the EuroRoadSubset that
contains Feature type and attribute classes
(supertypes and subtypes), attributes (only
multiplicity 1), associations (composition)
with multiplicity, DataTypes, Codelists and
documentation.

1. Easy to generate XMI from Rational Rose by Unisys
   plug in. No errors
2. Easy to import XMI into ArgoUml.
3. Tricky to generate graphic views. Some functions
   available, but requires manual work.
4. Classes stereotyped DataType is implemented as
   DataType in ArgoUML, not a class anymore.
5. Documentation in the RR model is lost.during the
   export to ArgoUML
6. Easy to generate XMI from ArgoUml.
7. Easy to import XMI into Rational Rose.
8. Tools to assist making graphic views, but
   requires manual work.
9. DataTypes from ArgoUml is lost
10. Documentation from ArgoUml is imported.

General conclusion

• ArgoUml is freely available and can be downloaded
  from the Web, and constitutes a valuable tool for
  communities that do not want to by an expensive
  tool like Rational Rose.
• Tranfer of documentation between ArgoUML and
  Rational Rose makes this a valuable tool to
  provide input from smaller communities into a
  more extensive/comprehensive model, for example
  in Rational Rose.
• The problem of DataTypes (which also is a problem
  with other tools) must be overcome.
• More extensive tests should be performed.
